We spent most of today visiting sites steeped in the history of the second world war. First, we made a stop at the Florence American Military Cemetery to hear the stories of Americans who lost their lives in Northern Italy during WWII.
We then went to Carpi, and visited the Fossoli Transport Camp, which was used as a concentration camp for Jews and political prisoners during WWII. From there, we went to the nearby Transport Museum to learn more about the holocaust through items, quotes, and graffiti from prominent artists like Pablo Picasso.
Tomorrow we're off to Venice for the day, and then on an overnight train to our home-stays in France! I will be staying with the French program director in a town called Sept-Saulx, near the larger town of Reims.
